Florida Mortgage Rates And Credit Scores

The lower your credit score, the higher your mortgage rates.

  • Most lenders have credit score cutoffs for certain mortgage rates
  • I specialize in bad credit home loans in Illinois and Florida

A large percentage of our business at Gustan Cho Associates is helping borrowers with credit scores under 600 FICO.

What are the current Florida mortgage rates? What credit scores can I work with?

I recently qualified a mortgage loan client who had a credit score of 588 FICO.

  • Mortgage rates for borrowers with a 588 FICO credit score on an FHA insured mortgage loan is higher than those with higher credit scores
  • Higher credit scores mean lower risk to lenders which in turn means lower mortgage rates
  • Pricing Adjustments are pricing hits for lower credit score borrowers
  • For lower mortgage rates, borrowers should prepare for mortgage way ahead of time
  • Quick ways of boosting and increasing credit scores are paying down credit card balances to 10% of the limit
  • For borrowers with no active credit, getting three to five secured credit cards with at least $500 credit limits will improve credit scores
  • There are various ways of improving a person’s credit score in a short period of time
  • I have covered credit score improvement strategies on previous blogs

We will cover more on this topic on future blogs.

Options On Florida Bad Credit Home Loans

Borrowers who cannot afford the luxury of waiting several months to improve their credit will be charged higher mortgage rates due to their lower credit scores. Lower credit scores mean higher rates.

  • Conventional mortgage loans have higher mortgage rates compared to FHA insured mortgage loans
  • Conventional mortgage loans are extremely credit score sensitive
  • For example, most conventional mortgage loan programs have minimum credit score requirements of 620 FICO or higher
  • There is an adjustment cutoff at 640, 680, 720, and 760
  • By adjustment cutoffs, if borrower surpasses each of these credit score limits, their mortgage rates will be lower

For those with credit scores of 760 or higher will get the best conventional mortgage rates.

Florida Bad Credit Home Loans Waiting Period After Bankruptcy And Foreclosure

With conventional mortgage loans, the waiting periods to qualify for a mortgage loan after a bankruptcy and a foreclosure are much longer than FHA insured mortgage loans.

  • There is a waiting period of 4 years after Chapter 7 bankruptcy to qualify for Conventional Loans
  • There is a 7 year waiting period after the recorded date of foreclosure to qualify for a conventional  mortgage loan
  • There is a four year waiting period after the recorded date of deed in lieu of foreclosure and/or short sale to qualify for conventional loans
  • Those who had mortgage part of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, there is a four-year waiting period to qualify for Conventional Loans from the discharged date of the bankruptcy
  • The foreclosure can get finalized after the discharged date of the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
